I’ve just reinstalled latest Avast Free after using another AV for a while. The new version has a much improved interface but has given me a new problem: all attempts to backup Avast’s settings fail with an “Access Denied” error message: I tried different folders and an external drive with the same result. A forum search found a similar question from several years ago (topic “[RESOLVED] Backing up Avast settings”), but the advice there didn’t help: the problem persists after a complete uninstall (avastclear.exe in safe mode) and reinstall.
Running Win7 Home Premium x64.
Any ideas.
